Before anyone gets too excited (I guess its too late), remember, Fansproject is not the main focus for the group members in their daily lives. Unlike other groups, FansProject is very patient, and they don't see a need to announce things a year ahead, when they first begin work on a project. All the items coming out next have been in the works for a minimum of 18 months at least. Steel Core was probably started at least 2 years ago. I first saw the prototype back in January 2011. It would of taken a minimum of 6 months to get to that prototype stage.
Just because they just showed Assaulter's artwork recently, doesn't mean their just starting off in the drawing stages.
As for the upcoming releases, thats all stuff you guys would of known based on leaks and what not over the year. Members here have known Menasor was the next combiner, as some where shown photos at Botcon 2011. Based off that, you'd come to the conclusion that is 5 figures at the minimum, if FP release each individually. Plus, the teaser for Crossfire 3. Teasers shown at TFCon 2009. Everything adds up. Most of what I've mentioned today is not really news, unless you don't follow FP as others do.
As for the pricing, remember not all the 3rd party groups have the same production run of units as others. Fansproject is popular, so they can sometimes do a bit larger of a run and help keep end cost down. As well, there are other costs involved for productions, or suprise costs a group encounters, that fans don't know about, and a group has to factor it in or their product might not get released at all.

Dont forget, Predaking, Abominus, and Piranacon. Well we need better Stunticons. And after seeing FOC Bruticus, I think it would be better if Hasbro left combiners to the experts.

Yep, I can already hear TFC knocking on the door. They seem intent on doing pretty much all of the G1 combiners it seems (concepts for Computron and Abominus have already been seen and they're obviously doing Superion). Considering the fact that Superion and Menasor are somewhat arch enemies, I suspect they'll jump on the Stunticons even if FP does their own, but maybe I'm wrong on that. But you can bet they probably will do one if FP doesn't get their own out soon enough.

I can see TFC keeping the size of their Gestalts the same as Hercules instead of trying to downsize a bit. However, as much as I would love to get new versions of all the combiner teams, I'm happy with 1 or 2 a year. Hercules was really a one-off for me at that price range, I really don't want to think about sustaining $100/pop every time.

I am fully down for a FP Menasor and at this point only a FP Menasor! I will still be joining the TFCC subscription club and getting their Breakdown (to go with my HTS Dragstrip) but this needs to happen. Poor little Superion, now there's going to be two bid bad combiners to hold him down while the third just wales on him! He's going to need some backup too eventually. I just hope they use a design similar to the one in the Ongoing for Motormaster.

Leave it to Dead Metal to have the word 'Pronz' in his signature.

So you guys over here at Seibertron have had no idea that FP were working on a Menasor? A FP member, who was at BotCon 2011, showed a bunch of people photos of various designs prototypes for their Menasor combiner.
